Ingredients
1/2 can SPAM (sliced into small cubes)
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or any other rice cereal you prefer)
2 cup rice crackers (your choice, roughly crushed into small pieces if needed)
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 12oz bag marshmallows
Seto Fumi Furikake, or your preferred furikake, to taste.
Preparation
1. Prepare the Spam:
- Cut the Spam into small cubes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the Spam cubes until crispy and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the Rice Crispy Mixture:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows, stirring occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
3. Mix in the Cereal, Rice Crackers, and Spam:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal and the rice crackers. Mix until evenly combined.
- Sprinkle in about 2 tbsp of furikake, stirring it into the rice cereal mixture for that added umami flavor.
- Gently fold the crispy Spam cubes into the rice crispy mixture, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
4. Press and Set:
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly butter the dish.
- Pour the rice crispy mixture into the dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until set.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve!
